That shared parking will be for electric cars I expect…

Yep. This is their reply to a question about access:

"on-site, there are provisions for:
- Charging points for electric vehicles.
- Improvements to the surrounding footpath and cycle network.
- A transport hub to the north of the A419 which provides an interchange for sustainable public transport.
- Enhanced bus services, as well as a shuttle bus from Stroud and Stonehouse railway stations and Nailsworth town centre to the stadium, plus for a trial period, from Cam & Dursley station.

We're looking to provide new infrastructure to discourage use of private cars. "

It's not very 'eco' with the amount of CO2 equivalent emissions in the construction of the damned place.

Nope.  Montezuma's actively encourage you to eat it.  My lad barfed when he tried a bit.

I have tried 100% cocoa chocolate at the Lindt factory in Cologne and at Rowntrees in York, both disgusting TBF.

Pure cocoa is bitter gopping. However, once processed it is rather delightful in its many guises, except American chocolate, fucking rank IMHO.

American milk chocolate contains something akin to Butyric Acid.  It is added to stop the crystalisation you get, which makes the outside of a chocolate bar look odd with a white outer layer.  I can only assume it started as way of keeping bars looking fresh given the scale of the Country - it would have, and still does, take a while to get to a shelf and in summer a lot of the country is warm.

Basically, a little bit of sick is added.

Exactly that, Hersheys etc. actually taste like sick. Why the fuck would anyone want to eat something that actually tastes like actual vomit? Bizarre. That and Cheese. Americans dont do cheese.

It's the same process as occurs to make Parmesan Cheese.  I imagine if you get brought up eating it, you don't know any different.  Many people complain our chocolate is too milky.  Hershey's is rancid though.
